THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.
I used to love the Duke of Welly - Not quite the same now, sadly...

A great pub, though it smells occaionally. Possibly the toilets; possibly the underground stream and the dampness associated with it. That's where we are in the picture below.

ReplyDeleteThe deed will be done today, while The Reds take on Arsenal. While I act as look-out, PJ wil be inside working his muscular magic. He has been advised to retain some of the original'artwork'. There will be a pictorial update later.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling ashamed. Mr McC is a gentleman and a scholar.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, whither the underground stream, Sirs??!
ReplyDeleteIt used to have proper atmosphere, the Duke of Welly...
Once upon a time. I still strongly feel that Newcastle doesn't quite appreciate its beauty and its history, and its beer...
Under 'High Bridge'.
